Two tomes by Sgt Lee Ballenger-USMC...."US Marines in Korea-1952"...."US Marines in Korea-1953"...it entails the other Korean War after the fighting withdrawal fromyje Chosin Reservoir.... best book on Korea is by Sgt Martin Russ, "Breakout".

Three that come to mind right away because for me..they were life changing are Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food by Michael Pollen and Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser.Favorite fiction is hands down..Water for Elephants. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a close second.

Dani, doesn't sound juvenile to me at all. Most of the people I know who are into Harry Potter are adults. I have the entire collection because my son has read them all..but I have yet to read a word..or see the movies. Every summer..I say I'm going to start the series...and I don't..maybe the summer...lol
